This watchdog blog, by journalist Norman Oder, offers analysis, commentary, and reportage about the $4.9B project to build the Barclays Center arena and 15-16 towers at a crucial site in Brooklyn. Dubbed Atlantic Yards by developer Forest City Ratner in 2003, it was rebranded Pacific Park Brooklyn in 2014 after the Chinese government-owned Greenland Group bought a 70% stake going forward. As of 2018, after the arena and four towers were built, Greenland owns 95% of future construction.

As with last month, the Barclays Center has partly returned to transparency, announcing non-ticketed events on the monthly calendar circulated to community residents, but no longer indicating the nature--and thus potential size--of the private events

There are seven private events on six days in March. Beyond that, there are 24 ticketed events on 21 days: six Nets games, eight Islanders games, one concert, one boxing event, and eight Atlantic Coast Conference tournament ticketed rounds (with more games) over five days. On three days, a private event occurs earlier in the day, before a ticketed event.

March 2017

In March 2017, there were 31 ticketed events on 27 days: seven Nets games, seven Islanders games, three concert, one boxing event, one wrestling event, four circus shows over three days, and (I believe) eight Atlantic Coast Conference tournament rounds (with more games) over five days.
